Full mouth rehabilitation is the combination of restorative dental treatments to fix or rebuild your smile. Full-mouth rehabilitation is not a single dental treatment. Rather, it is a variety of treatments and procedures performed over time, and all are focused on getting and keeping your mouth healthy. The treatment plan addresses problems, such as tooth wear, absent teeth, pain, misalignment, infection, and more.
Everyone’s teeth wear down with age. Several factors can cause premature wearing of your teeth, including bruxism (or teeth grinding); eating or crunching very hard foods; and, dental pathologies. Excessively worn teeth can eventually lead to a misaligned bite, to infection of the pulp inside your teeth. Depending upon your presentation you may be suggested root canals, crown placement & extraction of certain teeth.
Do you notice frequent jaw soreness or fatigue in your jaw muscles? Do you experience headaches—particularly on the sides of your head? If so, you may be experiencing temporomandibular disorder (TMD)—another name for problems with your temporomandibular, or jaw, joints (TMJs). Your TMJs can become inflamed, irritated, or even arthritic from many causes, such as teeth grinding or congenital problems. TMD is more than just painful. This condition can negatively affect your bite alignment, as well as your ability to freely move your jaw. Night splints, orthodontic correction, and other treatments can help resolve TMD.
Dental implants are artificial screw like device that a dental surgeon inserts into a person’s jawbone. Implant acts as an anchor for artificial tooth A person may need an implant if they have lost one or more teeth.
Removable dentures are economical way to restore smiles. But there are a few disadvantages of complete dentures. Dentures are not always so easy to wear. Sometimes they slip when you try to eat or speak. It happens more often with a lower denture, which can easily become dislodged by the tongue. Removable dentures will also cause bone loss in the jaw over time by pressing down on the bony ridges that formerly supported the teeth.
An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture that are attached and supported by dental implant. Dental implants integrate with the living bone, giving the denture a firm foundation.
This means you can eat, speak and smile with confidence and without restrictions.
The dental implants will support the jaw bone for improved long-term oral health.
If you wear a implant-supported denture it can improve your comfort and minimize your speech impediments often associated with loose or ill-fitting dentures because implants integrate with the living bone, giving the denture a firm foundation.
This means implants also allow you chew much more efficiently, so you can live your life without restrictions on what foods you can or cannot eat.
